Good Multiplayer Game for the Summer

This is a great summer online game, which includes all the previously released DLC to date, to play with your friends as a team. Graphics and frame rate have been improved, and match the PC. This is a first person shooter that has a strategy element to it. You must work as a team to accomplish the goals. The one downside is the controls can be a little "sketchy" at times, but when you get into a match with everyone working together - that is where this game shines. If you like the XBOX 360 / PS3 version of this game, this version is a much improved game, but it has a few "first day" flaws - which should be fixed with the first patch.

This game is almost exactly like the 360 version, I got it on sale for $29.99 $20 off the base price, you definitely need people to play with cause the AI basically does not help you, it also has some matchmaking problems when other people try to join you, overall it's worth the money.

Pay Day is a really good game. It is not like other games.Seems easy. enough, but It is a bit tough and makes you learn the style of robbing banks, stores, etc.

The matchmaking system on the X1 version is not yet working properly even though the game has been out for one day shy of a month. The developer has been very slow on issuing patches and even then, the lone patch released thus far only fixed a freezing issue that shouldn't have existed in the first place. They're more than happy to sell you DLC for the PC version though!
So, unless you have three friends that you can form a party with, you likely won't get much out of this game. You can play by yourself of course, but the AI is terrible and doesn't offer more than revives and disappointment.
Oh, and as far as remasters go, this is easily the weakest of those I've played. It looks and runs only slightly better than the PS3/360 versions, an improvement that can mostly be attributed to the increased resolution. Initially the developer claimed this re-release would run at 60fps, but it's often closer to 30.
My advice is to wait until it works properly and then buy it used so that these lazy devs don't come into contact with your money.

I've never been a big payday fan, but a friend who loved it told me I should check it out. I'm usually interested in games that have a cohesive story--like Last of Us, Uncharted, or Killzone. I don't usually care for sandbox games, but under the right circumstances can--like Grand Theft Auto. With all of that said, this game is very fun. I find myself constantly going "wow, what time is it" and not realizing how long I've been playing.

This game shines with NP and a good group of friends. the heists can get complicated but if you have a group that works as a team then the missions are manageable.
On the other hand if you have a group that each person goes out and does their own thing then it won't be as fun. I recommend this game if you want the kind of game that let's you do heist and feel like if your playing the movie Heat in real life.

The game is a lot of fun however you need to make sure you play with friends. Playing with randoms online is okay however there is a lot of backstabbing from your teammates.
There is not much of a story so i can say this game is mainly for online play.

There is a lot of fun to be had playing this game with friends. You need to cooperate on these jobs, so I would really recommend you play with people you know. There are many varied missions, lots of weapons to buy and upgrade with attachments, and you level up like an rpg. Very fun game

If you have played left 4 dead before it has very similar gameplay in my opinion. When trying to pull off heists it is almost like you have gotten to the last part of left 4 dead and are trying to hold off waves of different Types of enemies until your ride arrives. There's also options to try and do the missions stealthy, but I'm not good at that :P

This game is a blast to play with friends. The online matchmaking is still not functioning properly as of this writing, but if you have a group of friends with the game, grouping up with them will work just fine. Even solo this game can be fun and challenging.

The gameplay is excellent but they are glitches with the online aspect that will hopefully be fixed soon. Still cannot play online with other "real" people. This is a huge let down but it will be great once that is corrected.

This game reminds me of a combination of Grand Theft Auto and Battlefield Hardline. Great strategy game that is better when playing online multiplayer versus single player offline.

I've played the 360 version, but it doesn't get old! The new characters, masks and guns (and perk decks) have added so much to the game making limitless ways to rob and steal your way to large stacks of cash! You can go stealth and take your time, do a straight smash and grab, or stay and play Rambo...whatever your style, the game has a gun and equipment to suit your needs!
